Grocery Time!

As we (as in me) speak, I am putting away our mound of groceries.  It never ceases to amaze me how much food we eat in a week. I don't want to imagine how much we eat in a year. <shudder>

I am now done. For those who want to know, this is a weekly event. People in the store tell us that they want to come to our house all the time when they see our cart(s). Then we tell them how large our family is and they just nod, wide-eyed, and say "so, this is for the week,huh?" to which we nod, sigh, and push said cart(s) like an endurance athlete in training. I have great upper arm strength.

That is it for now, folks. Feel free to leave a comment below.

Oh so breakable...... that's what glass is

In the space of three days, my family has broken four glasses. I am about to submit a formal petition to switch to all plastic. It will be so much better on our nerves.  On another note, my internet is acting blinky. It's enough to make you want to pull your hair out. That is why this post will be short. Til next time, folks!

My Life in Black and White by Kim Izzo

My Favorite Super Bowl 2020 Commercials

 This is my favorite time of year when it comes to commercials. I feel like the ad agencies really go the extra mile because they know that this is the time they will get the most coverage and they will be able to leave the biggest mark. So, below are some of my faves.


Porsche's Commercial made me wish that, not only could I drive (no one seems to trust me behind the wheel), but that I could work with them and have friendly car chases.

You ever watched a movie and thought that it just sucked for that noble person who stayed behind because there was no more room? Well, now I'm just going to see Colbie Smulders saving the day with Toyota. Thanks for changing my movie experience.

At first, I was expecting a funny commercial. Instead, I got choked up. This is one of those commercials that make me want to hug the first responders who put themselves out there in a crisis.

I loved Groundhog Day and it appears that so do the people at Jeep. This is one of the fun commercials. I could watch it over and over and over...........

Aside for the uber creepy fact that one of my brothers looks a little like John Legend, so the whole Sexiest Man Alive thing made me vomit a little in my mouth, this commercial was perfect. Totally funny.

Thank you Google for making me cry like a baby. If this does not touch you, then you aren't even human.

This sooo feels like a sitcom. I want to curl up under a blanket and Chris Evans, John Krasinski, Rachel Dratch, and David “Big Papi” Ortiz entertain me for half an hour. Also, that car is epic.

Did you finish rolling on the floor laughing yet? No... um... ok.... I'll wait. You done yet? Good, now, let me finish ROTFL.

OMG! Little Caeser's now Delivers! Yes, I'm gonna gonna get my pizza on, I'm gonna get my pizza on.... Oh, the commercial, riiiiight. It was funny. Now if you will excuse me, I'm gonna gonna get my pizza on, I'm gonna get my pizza on.........

My childhood was so full of Spaghetti Westerns that this commercial felt like my childhood and Grownuphood (this is so now a word) collided. Also, Sam Elliot's mustache is just plain awesome.

And that sums it up. Feel free to leave a comment below and tell me which ones are your favorite or not.
